The small group of protestors displayed signs reading "Boycott, Apartheid Israel" and "Smash Apartheid Israel for a Six," while also chanting slogans advocating for an independent Palestine. The demonstration outside the stadium included expressions of discontent against Teeger, the U-19 national skipper. Israel launched a military offensive in the Gaza Strip after the Hamas militant group attacked the Jewish nation on October 7 last year, killing 1,200 people.
